Letter: Possible Syria strike

Published: Friday, September 6, 2013 at 08:26 PM.

What in the world is this administration thinking? Iraq cost us a billion dollars a day. We are now withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, finely. We cannot continue to be the world’s police force.

I'm sorry for the people of Syria and their families. But as a wise man once said "War is hell.” Why did we win World War II? We bombed whole cities without regard for women and children. I ask you, why we were run out of Vietnam? Because we wouldn't listen to our Air Force general and just bomb North Vietnam. War is bankrupting this wonderful country of ours. We the people need to contact our representatives in Congress and the Senate and make it clear that we don't want to get involved in Syria's civil war.
